(CNSNews.com) -- Several U.S. lawmakers will testify before a House immigration subcommittee on Thursday, giving their perspective on how illegal immigration affects their communities.

The House Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims, chaired by Rep. John Hostettler (R-Ind.), announced it would hold a 2 p.m. hearing to address the following questions:

-- How many illegal aliens cross through border districts and how many times do they cross each year?

-- How do illegal aliens impact the infrastructure of border districts?

-- Has crime increased in these districts?

-- What is the relationship between increased border enforcement and violent crime?

-- Has illegal alien population growth added to the burden on the American taxpayer?

-- What are the costs of providing medical care to illegal immigrants at emergency medical facilities?

-- What are the potential costs to constituencies of another major terrorist attack in the United States as a result of poor immigration security and control?
